Correlated and uncorrelated long--time asymptotics of type D ASEP

Abstract

The type D ASEP is an asymmetric two--species interacting particle system on $\Z$, in which two separately conserved species hop, bind into a composite ``bound pair'', and split. The model, along with its reversible measures and orthogonal polynomial duality, was constructed using the representation theory of $U_q(\so_{2n})$. The reversible measures and orthogonal polynomial duality are each a product of two copies of the single-species ASEP reversible measures and orthogonal polynomial duality. In this paper, we study the long-time asymptotics of the type D ASEP. In the fixed--$q$ regime, using an exact current--decoupling identity, we prove that the asymptotic hydrodynamic limit and Tracy--Widom fluctuations decouple, as predicted from the duality. In the weak--asymmetry (Edwards--Wilkinson) regime, when $q=1-c/N^2$, we prove that the two density fluctuation fields \underline{decouple}: each converges to a linear stochastic heat equation, with no cross--coupling in either the drift or the noise, the limiting noises having vanishing cross--correlation. More surprisingly, we then prove that the two limiting normal random variables are \underline{correlated} with a seemingly new correlation function. The correlation is exactly equal to $(1-e^{-4c})/(4c)$, with the positive parts of the normal random variables having correlations expressed by the Bessel--Struve function. This paper, with the exception of the abstract and introduction, was written entirely by Claude Opus 4.8 and Fable 5. The proofs were then formalized in Lean, using Aristotle by Harmonic AI. The human author of this paper verified the proofs manually.

Why we should condition denoising diffusion generative models on windows of past observations

Data assimilation (DA) is, traditionally, a cycling process that relies on time-dependent priors to propagate information from past observations to future cycles. Using denoising diffusion generative modeling for DA is challenging because standard approaches use a fixed training data set, which in turn leads to a static prior that ignores information from past observations. Because past observations are ignored, DA systems with static priors lead to larger posterior errors than cycling DA systems. Incorporating time-dependent priors into generative models, however, requires expensive and frequent retraining. Motivated by linear systems theory - where the dependence of a prediction of a Kalman filter on past observations decays exponentially - we condition diffusion models on short windows of past observations. Specifically, we describe training procedures for two frameworks: a diffusion DA system predicting the current state given a set of past observations, and a diffusion ``direct observation prediction'' (DOP) system, predicting future observations given a set of past observations. Using a canonical linear system, we show that both systems can achieve the minimal posterior error characteristic of a fully-cycled DA/DOP system, without re-training, provided the time windows are long enough. The linear setup ensures analytical tractability, avoids confounding neural network training errors, and confirms that conditioning on windows of past observations is required for efficient and accurate diffusion-based DA or DOP.

The kinematic structures and the inertial geometry of a moving charge

We ask how much of the geometry a charged particle moves in is fixed by its motion, and how much a particle must bring. We ask of a symplectic structure only that it relate velocity to momentum as Hamilton's equations do, and we ask it of every energy at once. In particular, we show that the structures meeting that demand are the canonical one and its twists by a closed two-form of the base. A field provides the two-form, a particle the multiplier before it, which we identify constitutively with its charge. Thus, a single energy governs a family of structures, and each particle takes the one its charge fixes. We then ask what a particle must bring to be given a momentum, and we show that the degree of that map settles the degree at which a field enters Newton's Second Law. An antisymmetric bilinear form returns no Lorentz force, whilst a Randers metric returns one --- a length whose difference from a Riemannian one is linear in the velocity. Moreover, we find that metric already within the twisted structure, as its primitive over a level of the free energy, and its law of transport to be nonlinear, no affine connection being known to serve. Under an indefinite signature the length parts from the dynamics, and the extremals turn from shortest to longest. On the round sphere a monopole flux leaves no such metric, whilst the transport remains and prequantisation, given a unit of action, restricts the charge to a lattice. In this manner, we conclude that each charge-to-mass ratio receives a geometry of its own, so that by a functionalist criterion none of them is the spacetime of a charged particle.
